Tariq
Today was my first day of the season climbing on the East face of Aonach Mor. I was with Fred and Tariq, on the Snow and Ice, Jagged Globe course. We found Easy Gully in great condition, and the Gully rim was solid. Walking across the bases of the climbs we could easily see the tops of the climbs and saw that many climbs had safe cornice exits (possibly from heavy weekend traffic?). Scott just was just ahead of me at Tunnel Vision, and we both had a great time on the route. The ice was good and the neve was better. This is a great little 1 star climb. Lots of routes were being done today, including Morwind, Left Twin and White Shark.

The best part of the climb was topping out, pulling over the edge into the sunshine - every day in Lochaber is like this!

A spectacular day - they're all like this!
I did have sunglasses in my bag but, I was in the shade for most of the day - in search for the sun again tomorrow..
